A Muslim doctor, Mohammed Kandil, has written a research paper arguing that the Muslim practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is neither harmful nor painful. FGM is the brutal Islamic religious rite in which a woman’s genitalia are partially or fully cut off for non-medical reasons, so that sex is very painful for the woman and that she never experiences pleasure during sex. Most of the time it is done without anesthesia and the clitoris and/or labia are sliced off. It’s simply incredible that any so-called medical professional–let alone an obstetrician/gynecologist–would claim that this is neither harmful nor painful. But Dr. Kandil does, claiming that because of “pain management” technology, this savage, misogynistic, barbaric procedure is okay.

Dr. Kandil is a member of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine-Menofyia University, in Shibin Elkom, Egypt. The title of his now-published “research” paper is absolutely ridiculous: “Female Genital Cutting is a Harmful Practice: Where is the Evidence?” Gee, I can’t wait for the Muslim Brotherhood companion research paper: “Chopping a Gay Man’s Testicles Off is a Harmful Practice: Where is the Evidence?” Until a couple of weeks ago, the paper was awaiting what is known as “peer review,” a requirement before it can be published. But, predictably, Dr. Kandil found at least two fellow Muslim doctors who both eagerly reviewed and approved his thesis.

They agree with Dr. Kandil that the any negative attention to FGM is an attack on Muslim “traditions and cultural beliefs” and that it is an attempt to “Westernize” Muslims. Yup, these two Muslim docs who “treat” women approved this, and they represent many of those–probably the vast majority–who treat women in the Muslim world (and that includes a good number of Muslim docs here in the United States):

I have read this submission. I believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard.

Uh-huh. The “scientific standard” of witch doctors, perhaps.

Here are some excerpts from this outrageous “academic” paper:

There is insufficient evidence to support the claims that genital cutting is a harmful procedure if performed by experienced personnel in a suitable theatre with facilities for pain control and anesthesia. Cutting, however, is advised not to go beyond type I [DS: Type I FGM is removal of the clitoris and the clitoral hood a/k/a a clitoridectomy]. . . .

In Islam, if female circumcision is desired by parents, it should not go beyond type I FGC [DS: Female Genital Cutting, the sanitized term Muslims use for what it really is: Mutilation] (Ia is removal of the prepuce and Ib is removal of the prepuce and clitoris) according to hadith “Sunna type of circumcision”. This type of female genital surgery is equated with male genital surgery. In support of hadith, many studies showed that women with clitoridectomy “type I cutting” are less likely to develop gynecologic or obstetric complications compared to infibulated women “type III”. Considering that the number of Moslems in the world ranks second, it seems logical to reconsider the legal attitude towards female circumcision and probably avoids the ban directed towards Sunna circumcision.

The decline in FGC practice is not proportionate to the efforts exerted. It is not easy to give up your traditions and cultural beliefs for what is considered, by many, to be an attempt to westernize societies in the third world. Many believe that national and international feminist organizations and child rights’ advocates have propagated misleading or unproven information through the media in order to force governments to prohibit the procedure. In fact, all the above-mentioned health hazards were concluded from studies that showed inconsistent findings. Some of them confirmed the hazards of FGC while others failed to prove them. It is the author’s view that none of these studies hold solid evidence to rely upon. These studies were either of retrospective design or studies depended on self-reported FGC and its health consequences. Such studies are imprecise and have low reliability1920. Research including reported data about past experiences will always be threatened by the individual’s memory and the influence of exposure status on the recalling process.

FGM is amputation. Period. There is no excuse for it. It is not medically acceptable, no matter how many Muslim men parading as doctors claim otherwise. It’s a form of torture that we would never even think of for the Gitmo detainees or other hardened Islamic terrorists. And, yet, this is halal [permitted] by these cretins.

I wish I could say this “research paper” is “truly incredible.” But it isn’t. This is just same ‘ole, same ‘ole for the Muslim world. The savagery we see from that world on a daily basis never fails to top the previous savagery and absurd defense of the indefensible.

Even the increasing escalation of the savagery and the rhetoric in defense of the savagery never surprises. It’s what we’ve come to expect.

BTW, read the courageous comments of Dr. Vitaly Citovsky, Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology at
State University of New York – Stonybrook, and the absurd mega-dhimmi response by the Rebecca Lawrence, F1000Research publisher, who provides of such mindless “academic” defenses of this Mengele-esque savagery in the name of scholarship in science and medicine:

Yup, multi-culturalism and political correctness must be pursued ad absurdum even in “science” and “medicine” to the point that the attitude is, “who are we to judge Islamic barbarism?”

The things Islam is willing to endorse… next we’ll hear Muslim doctors argue that amputating a right hand stops theft!

And we’ll find Western leftists falling all over themselves to defend it because hey – the way Muslims practice their religion is none of our business.

They’re just afraid of losing their heads – they have no problem denouncing Christians for opposing abortion – but you will not hear a peep from them about Muslim mistreatment of women, gays, Jews and whoever else Muslims want to remake in their own image.

an absolutely the best information i have ever found about Islam. this book ‘Prophet of Doom’ by Craig Wimm, it is free an an audio book on his web site, provided in sections, it is over 40 hours to listen to. the book is 992 pages, i have seen it for $99 new to over $400 new, i got an excellent copy used for $40.http://prophetofdoom.net

i down loaded the entire book to Mp3, i also got an $8 Mp3 transmitter to car radio at Walmart for $8. i listened to it commuting, and every chance i got. i plan to listen to it again soon Mr Winn has a wonderful voice, interpreters with a descriptive vocal style. in essence Islam as cooked up by his wife who owned the concessions to the Pilgrims to the Kaaba. Mo was denied his inheritance of the Kaaba because he was the village idiot, he had seizures and hallucinations just like his mother, his father died before he was born. the family took his property, the wife convinced him God was directing him to own the Kaaba.. and then she would have it all.

It depends what we mean by “harmful”. Appearently it is not harmful if you can survive it. Couldn’t we say that about a lot of things? People have lived in spite of being decasterated of having their limbs removed. Should we find that acceptable also? How about blinding someone? People can survive without vision. So I guess we can argue that these are also not “harmful”.

I have just read an article by Muslim academics that beheading is not painful either, if done correctly. After all, the victim won’t feel anything once the act occurs.

It’s too bad that the intolerant yokels in California don’t exercise similar cultural relativism in their attacks on Jewish circumcision, nor that the intolerant yokels in Germany exercise the same regard for other religious practices than those of the barbaric Muslims.

Beheadings have also be proven to cure chronic headaches 100% of the time.
You see Medieval medicine is safe and effective.
You just need to be open minded.
And a beheaded man is the most open-minded person there is.

Couldn’t agree with you anymore Debbie, and I agree with you in your last sentence at the end of this piece by saying that Sandra Fluke and her ilk are quite and nowhere to be found or spotted on this.

And I challenge any of the so-called womens groups and feminists groups both here in the US and worldwide to show their outrage of this muslim doctor in Egypt performing FGM’s (female genital mutilation) on women across Egypt (both muslim women and non-muslim women alike) and other muslim doctors worldwide that does medical mutilation like this on their female patients. So far, I only hear crickets communicating with eachother!

It should hardly surprise that this “doctor” is Egyptian and the two peers supporting his so-called research are also Egyptian. According to David Goldman (author of “How Civilizations Die”), some 90% of Egyptian girls have been subject to this barbaric procedure. These doctors are just trying to defend their indefensible cultural practice.

This column has really gotten me Rumplestiltskin stompin’ mad. And DS read my mind in the end when she mentioned the robotic, toilet paper roll Sandra Fluke. I wonder if TMI feminist Naomi Wolf will come out against this medical paper while she is promoting her new tome “Vagina” (and no, I am NOT being sarcastic…it’s her new book!!)?

Hopefully the Sharia President will NOT be re-elected on Nov. 6th. But with that said, I’d love to see the Conservatives on Twitter take columns like this as seriously as they do their cheerleading for Romney.

How many more articles does DS have to write that illustrate that Islam is beyond Satanic??? She was deadly correct years and years ago and this must be truth # 987,566!!! My brain is exploding right now.

Oh, and if you DON’T understand that Obama-Putin is the Sharia President then you haven’t paid attention to Libya, Fort Hood, his ignoring Israel (but NEVER skipping an Iftar dinner while Prez), that Coptic filmmaker in the hoosegow on a technicality and his love of Islam from day one. After Nov 6th he’ll be even more in-your-face if he wins.

And this may seen off topic but it isn’t because it has to do with DS rightly spot-lighting so-called Conservative frauds. I was catching up on an old 10/23 podcast today and it got by me that Michelle Fraudkin had a go at Ann Coulter. Now these days I view them BOTH as “Alien vs. Predator” but Fraudkin did exactly what DS has told us she does…and to Ann Coulter. Even “Johnny Don’t Like” came out and said that she was an angry, humourless fraud and that she had a go at AC because of jealousy. I was shocked but liked his frankness.

Something DS has told us about in the past. Add that to the last post here on her about her taking big $$ from a Lebanese Hamas/Hezbollah supporter (along w/the Vannity concert scam and trying to de-legitimize DS’ columns on her sites) and the truth shall set you free.

It is hard to even speak civilly on such a thing. Many of these characters practice in Western countries, That is the terrifying thing.. Medieval doctors used many techniques that were horrible out of ignorance, FMG is done simply out of malice.

Once again Debbie you hit the nail on the Muslim head. I don’t care how many research papers that so called doctors like Mohammed Kandil a la dirtbag writes. The practice of FGM is barbaric and just illustrates how Muslim men view their women. It figures that this “doctor” would find other “doctors” in their crappy country to go along with his bullhockey. You’re right Debbie about your closing point. I wonder too when the fembots like the douche Sandra Fluke will start hollering about this issue. Yeah right I’ll just hold my breath on that one. I do wonder how the good Dokturd Kandil would feel if someone stapped him down and without a lick of anesthesia cut his small “family” jewels off. Now that’s a research paper I’d glady read.

Not exactly, for, though not for completeness but, if only to round things out just a little, there’s more which ought often to be noticed:

Firstly, Islam is not a religion:

I agree with those who say that, Islam is not a religion at all; and to buttress statements in support of that as a fact appertaining to category, Moslems’ personalities are entwined in enforced patterns of behavior—not in beliefs which may be inquired into.

And for instant example: The more mature Moslems teach mayhem (stone throwing, acid, etc.) and suicide to their young, calling it “warfare”.

In spread throughout societies, and actuality of the thing, it’s more pert to a criminal organization operating under mere color of religion, . . . as at least one of them has said, Islam is ‘a method’—yes, devised by bad men, and for the maintenance of bad men e.g., in Islam, you need not win a woman’s affection, any man merely dominates a woman, and which of course, solves the great left-winger problem: “How to manage relation which appear to be essential as concerns a woman.”.

Secondly, conquest is an important part of the fabric of the interaction of mankind:

And in that way, it was recently presented to me how that, “no Asian or African countries ever asked to be colonized and ‘ripped off’ “.

Okay, except, Mankind are in competition in terms of all things, not the least of which is decency, as that upon which for continuance, all other things, depend—the superior nations are to rule the backward nations, use of force being generally the only thing which they will respond to.

And, “ripped off”? No. It’s simply a matter of conquest: “To the victor belong the spoils.”. And for instant example, time was, when the Moslems conquered peoples who were inferior to themselves; but, the Moslems were merely used of The Lord, the Son of God, to do as He willed.

Though, if Islam were to have had anything except a hopeless future, it did not keep abreast of things of change.

All nations are obliged to play their roles so well as they can—they being rewarded for so doing—and any of various forms of failure bears along with its own punishment, the things which I intend to lead toward is, of course, the fault of remission in the USA for not having so ruled—as was to have been becoming of decency—that, FGM would have been eradicated, entirely.

As when in the Madrid Accords, George Bush gave concurrence for partitioning of the land of Israel and almost in the same instant, “the perfect storm” wiped his house from Kennebunkport, or, as when before the UN, the Jap gov’t gave concurrence for the same thing, and within what might have been measured in hours, fury in the Fukushima disaster was released upon the general population, to present and arrange and correct, G0D is well able Himself, to do; except that, as so long ago, Augustine pointed out, if G0D did so—producing fear and superstition in His subjects—it could then never be determined who might regard Him for love and honor in equality. But, the responsibility and power of self-correction is given to Man; and to say that, “If we judge ourselves, why then should we not be judged of The Lord.”

And so, in this, the matter of the eradication of FGM—and other failure, as blithely—the USA is to suffer for blame inhering in remission.

And although much more could be said, but to note a recent example in contrast: spreading their mis-begotten muddling in warfare, throughout the region, the north Sudanese are unworthy the implements of warfare, then, if Israel did bomb that Sudanese munitions factory out of existence, in the nature of such things, the USA will be seen “suckin’ hind teat”, and Israel is to be blessed—with the responsibilities of power, there is covalent duty and reward.

Any female in the western world who in any way, shape or form supports ANYTHING of Islam is either so filled with self-hatred or so delusional that in either case they need to be institutionalized. As my wife likes to say, “When someone shows you who they are . . . believe them.” How many times does Islam need to show us what it really is before we take the blinders off and realize that the “fully realized” religion doesn’t operate in symbols, it says EXACTLY what it means. “Kill” means kill. “Hate” means hate.

“This is amazing information that almost nobody is aware of… everyone thinks that it’s a legitimate religion that preaches love and brotherhood. The truth of the matter is [that terrorists] are reflecting the religion and following the religion they are following the orders of the religion directly from the Quran… in plain English, the whole Muslim religion is preaching and teaching hate, terrorism and murder, and nobody knows it, and its about time they found out about it. The Quran… is 50 versions of hate, venom, hostility, and murder… dedicated to terrorism… I don’t know how we can call it a religion in the traditional sense. It should be called a murderous organization that’s out to kill people.”

I cannot believe how these mach-killer types can be so effeminate about worrying over their women. Likewise the woman have been down in the gully so long that to have a so-called normal life, well that is almost impossible. These people have been hoodwinked into believing a dastardly religion or way of life. The idea that killing,maiming and hurting anyone that isn’t of the same mind as you, is abhorrent to all thinking,normal well adjusted adults. I had more reasoned thoughts when I was ten years old. These people can only and I underline only,the show of force. It is plainly the only thing concerning policy that they have shown they will understand.So, don’t be conned by Obama con,he must go and the rest of the Muslims in government!

I understand that there is a an islamic scientific study due out next week that stoning women to death and beheadings are also painless. A pity we cannot ask Daniel Pearl – the journalist that “Journalism” ignores. The state run media continues to affirm – on a yearly basis – Che Guevara, Cesar Chavez, etc, but, alas, NO mention of Richard Pearl. I suppose, in the scheme of things, he was just “Peripheral damage.” Genital mutilation, stonings, beheadings. I realize now what our current occupant of public housing at 1600 Pennsylvania ave meant when he spoke of, and continues to speak of “The great contributions muslims have brought to our country.” I await aid from islamic countries to the victims of storm Sandy. The Japanese, the Haitains, etc. are STILL waiting. When Japan was hit with disaster, the first country on the ground with aid in the form of a complete mobile hospital, doctors, etc, was, and I’ll make it multiple choice, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel. I rest my case.

I am a homebirth midwife. As part of my training I studied suture and repair for tears and lacerations. We also had 2 chapters on female circumcision. It is scandalous what is done to young girls in the guise of religion. This is not about faith, it is about controlling women because it is believed that all women cannot control themselves sexually.
Because we have many muslims in our country we had to learn how to help muslim women with childbirth. For women who have had a type 3 infibulation, the only opening is a very small hole to allow urine and menses to pass. When a baby is being born the midwife must incise the area to allow the baby to be born. Almost all husband require that the wife is “put back together” as it was previous to the birth.You cannot imagine what it is like to deal with this mess. One thing that is not mentioned in the article is the permanent psychological damage that is done to these girls from female circumcision. All they have ever known is fear and pain when it comes to natural and normal functions of a woman’s body. They live with many infections in the entrapped areas that were sewn closed, they fear the pain of sex and childbirth. These are tortured women.

I knew it was vile, but didn’t realize HOW vile. I must be weird (well, my other comments will confirm that), but – anyway – I LIKE a whole woman. Things are meant to be a certain way.

Now, I do believe that without social controls, there are issues of female “sexuality” , as you termed it – promiscutity, especially. (Male promiscuity isn’t a good thing, either, but has fewer social issues, and WAS – even IS – controlled under law and religion. Female no longer is, it is in fact endorsed – to the point that a paternity test DIS-proving paternity isn’t accepted in a court of law WRT child support. )
It isn’t necessary to cut anything off, though – just provide a decent moral structure; and cut the abused social net a little, and enforce responsibility. (His AND hers, instead of HER choice, HIS responsibility.)

FGM is WRONG. Also evil. And who the F came up with that? Do they do it to their animals, too? (IIRC, Jewish faith originally required circumcision of ALL males, not just humans; please correct if wrong.)

What many people seem to forget, in the “enlightened” West, is that Religion was used to CONTROL a superstitious populace. Nothing new there, from divine right of kings and godhood of the Pharoahs to the Reformation (q.v. papal states) and Counter-Refomation… ALWAYS it is about power over and control of OTHERS – the Great Unwashed, which means… US. Those WITHOUT the power to enforce our will over others.

And this… Makes me think my original response to 9/11 was correct: Reduce to glass and ash everything from the Mediterranean sea to the borders of India and China. Then the muslims who aren’t in that area can be dealt with – assumed enemies. Their actions have shown the majority ARE, so who are we to argue with them?

Islam is a fabricated faith made of plagiarised Judaism blended with Ebionism. Yet Islam is now crashing from with in. Moslems are panicking about this phenomenon and are trying to fabricate all sorts of theories that Islam is an authentic faith through all these miskey mouse researches. One question I have for the Moslems; If the Clitoris and Libia are irrelevant for a woman why did God create them with it??? A failure of creation on the part of the Divine?????

If it isn’t harmful or painful, I suggest that this great mind come to the U.S. and start telling the women in this country that they should allow themselves to experience it. Heck, it won’t hurt!!! /s

It’s shocking to see how some people are so taken in by the big lie that, all cultures are equal. So much so, that they make excuses for female genital mutilation. I have no doubt that they would also find excuses for other Sharia Law practices, like burying women up to their chests, and stoning them to death for adultery, or executing Muslims that leave Muhammad, or amputations for thievery. Their willingness to prostrate themselves and their morals (if they have any) in front of the God of multiculturalism is astounding.

1. This by itself justifies forced conversion and destruction of the faith. Add in the other evils perpetrated by this faith since its inception – It’s Lucifer’s work.

2. We need to stop infant genital mutilation, period. That includes boys. The Bar Mitzvah is the Jewish “coming of age” ceremony. As a Catholic, I was deemed capable of understanding Communion at 7, and was accepted as a member of the church, essentially. (Baptism is actually the acceptance, but since infant baptism, it would really be Confirmation that makes you an ADULT member of the Church. ) So why the Jewish need for infant circumcision? It’s prescribed in the Torah.
Maybe BOTH fo these faiths need some sprucing up? Make circumcision a right of passage for a boy to become a man, and make Islam a footnote in history? (See #1.)

Just saying, there is the SAME justification – scriptures – for both practices – the PHYSICAL results ARE immensely different; the perpetration of acts of aggression on children should NOT be tolerated, regardless of the sex of the child.
